Maylily7 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hello! I was wondering what chemistry grades people have received and whether they were able to get into PA school with them. I have currently an A in gen chem 1, a B- in genchem 2 and orgo 1, and a B in orgo 2. Should I retake any classes? Or will I be able to get into a PA school with these grades? (Just a note my overall science gpa is 3.5). Sorry for the annoying question, but any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you! -Maylily7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyNichiavelli Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I got a C- in Intro to Chem, B- in Chemical Equilibria, B in Ochem I, C+ in Ochem II, A in Gen Chem I, and B in Gen Chem II. I don't think that your grades will break you. :) You have a good sGPA. I think school might scrutinize biological science grades more than chem grades, though both are important.

SCHW9076 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I minored in chemistry and got a C in all my chem courses but 1. Got accepted to my top2 schools Don't sweat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieo Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I think it depends on the school. If I remember correctly I think some schools won’t accept below a B in prereqs. Try to look into schools you might be interested in (daunting task I know) to get a feel. I generally think it’s best to restrict yourself from as few schools as possible. If I were you I probably would retake the B- classes and try very hard to get As. You can do both of those classes a a junior college to save money. If time is a real issue you could always apply with what you have (to schools that accept B-) with the plan to retake those 2 classes before reapplying if you don’t make it the first time.

BigB99 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 This PA I spoke to said he never used any chemistry in PA school. I know this doesn't help that much...but just giving you an idea of how unimportant chemistry is. He also said he wishes he'd taken more anatomy.
